FRESH YOUNG REPUBLICANS.


NJ. sherman's Evident Opinion Of HIs
Youthful Followers Of the Quaker CITY.
Young Republicans almost every
where are bright youths. with the lus-
ter Of newness and freshness upon
them. We dare say the Young Re-
publicans Of Philadelphia are no ex-
ception to the rule.
Senator Sherman has been for many
years Republican, with all that the
name implies. He has grown old and
rich in the exercise Of Republic anism.
He must have. however. . very poor
opinion Of the intelligence Of his jun
iors in Philadelphia, judging by the
letter in which he has undertaken to
explain to them the philosophy Of the
continued existence Of the Republican
party. and to provide programme for
this and future generations Of Young
Republicans.
"Thc work OF the Republican party is but
fairly begun
That Is Honest John Sherman's text
Did not another Honest John Honest
John Patterson. Of South Carolina
make remark somewhat to the same
effect few years ago? Mr.. Sherman
continues:

1t strikes us that good many DEM

are at present engaged in this noble
work with no immediate intention Of

versification.

in this busy season is abs TO name the

advantage over the American merchant,
who, In the present chaotic condition Of

rate on his goods will b. one or nve dol
